Dedicated circuits? Bldng a new house. Help.

I am in the process of having a house built. I have a 50/50 theater/music system, mostly all Linn stuff, and I am very ignorant about electrical power. My stuff is all currently plugged into a Tice power conditioner, except the amps are plugged directly into the wall. I do not have ANY dedicated circuits. They are all sharing.

I have 2 amps,processor,dvd player,cd player,xbox 360, cable box,and a plasma.

Since I am building, obviously this is the time to do what I need to do. So please help. How many dedicated circuits? What plugs into each one? What do I do with the Tice? What kind of outlets?

Thanks.

I can tell you what I did:

Home theatre: 2 dedicated 20A circuits wired w/ 10 ga. one for digital components i.e. player, processor and one for TV and amplifiers.

Audio Room: same as above one for front end components and another for amplifiers

All these circuits are terminated in PS Audio Power Ports and everything goes through Shunyata Hydras using Ananconda power cords.
